hi sir,
thanks for contacting us
1. the first thing you should be doing is stop janam gutli...Bcoz that is not going to stop the diarrhoea
2. diarrhoea in children can turn out to be extremely dangerous...if neglected,so follow dse precautions...
a) start ORS(oral rehydration solution) around 50 ml after each loose stool
b) neutrolin-b syrup 2 ml every 8 hrs x 5 days
c) ZnD suspension 0.5 ml once daily x 14 days
watch for urine and adequate urine of 5-6 times in a day helps to access dehydration...
finally and the most important step is to see a pediatrician for general assessment and assess dehydration ,meanwhile continuing the above medicines I mentioned

regards
